Thanks, the best would be to create an issue for cryptsetup project
https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/issues
(if it is a kernel bug we report it there later)

I will need some images (or a script to create them) to reproduce it though.

AFAIK the kernel and our code was based on the same libfec code,
so I am quite interested to find out what is the difference here.

(It can take some time though, the userspace FEC image verification was
implemented by my student that already disappeared from the project :)

Thanks,
